Gilchrist is the real news. 

Granted, it would give us a roster of 11 guys that can't shoot, but I'll take any top 100 player I can get.

[yosh]

I hope somebody learns how to shoot over the Summer.

[pissclams]

If there's one thing we will struggle with next year it won't  be shooting.

How do you figure?  I mean we'll be good in close, but we don't have a sniper from behind the arc.  It will leave us vulnerable.

something we dont know about ...and lol at scouts recruiting info

Gilchrist doesn't seem like a strong possibility.

Some of the things they say and he says in here don't seem to fit that theory.

Man we're going to have an awesome front court.

Hoskins - great
Beasley - amazing
Walker - amazing
Sutton - great
(possibility)Gilchrist - great
Colon
Kent

Too bad our guards don't match that

Stew - shooter(and therefore our most valuable guard by default)
Blake - not so much
Pullen - Drives (but who needs to drive when you've got our frontcourt?)
Brown - ..Don't really know



...Now if only one of the four could be a good distributor to that amazing frontcourt.

I tend to agree.  I understand the speculation due to the Hill/DC/Assault connection, but everything I've read says he is probably going prep next season and has yet to ask for a release from Tech.  At this point, our coaches can't even talk to him directly.  I supposed it could happen, but not in time for tomorrow's presser.

i'm not sure why i find it so much easier to believe the bad news than the good in that post.


if both are true, not a bad trade.  hurts ksu next year, but goes a long way in easing the '08-'09 dropoff.  also, adds to the kstate assault argument.

We REALLY need a shooter.

we won't have any trouble shooting the ball next year, it's pretty simple.  vulnerable to what?

Zoning inside and closing down the paint.  Of course we will still score, but if we had a shooter it could draw a guy or two to pick them up and let Beasley, Sutton, Walker, Hoskins, Sammuels have some extra room to work with.  Kind of like that guy McMilsomething did for Melo.

[fatty fat fat]

I just looked at the top 150 looking for uncommitted players, and was reminded that we have the #1 player in the country coming to ksu.

Meh, this isn't a Rec game.  
FWIW McNamara shot .357 beyond the arc during Melo's year at Syracuse (with Melo + Warrick in the paint), last season Clint shot .364 with little help from Hoskins drawing defenders onto the block.

i have it on good authority that you don't really need a good shooter to do that.  just a guy that hits in the upper 30% range.

How does a foreigner not make grades?

Exactly, and Walker, and Sutton, and Pullen, and Brown (my sleeper pick) and a returning Hoskins, and Clint Rainman Stewart, and etc etc etc.
Quit f'n forgetting how talented we're going to be people, you can't "double team" our starting 5...

[catzacker]

I would just zone the hell out of us.

But you can camp out in the paint.  I know we'll still score, and we'll still win games, but I think we could use a shooter if we hope to be final 4 or beyond.

Yeah, unless we can get a 2nd player to shoot 35%+ from 3.  Then we'll be insane.

[Buddha_Cat]

suck it f'ers.  what did i say, about three days later fitz would confirm?

that worked for Wooly when we played teams who had superior talent.  the zone is the answer to all of basketball's problems.

[waks]

Clent is a decent shooter. Maybe Young will be able to shoot like he did in Juco now if we are able to put him at SG. We have no idea on Brown. Pullen is supposed to be able to shoot, right? Walker is definitely improving his shot and Beasley has sick range. I think (hope) we will be alright. It would have just been nice to have had V-Dub who we know can shoot.

Wow, nice work.  Hey next time you get a great scoop I'll be sure to show you my appreciation before you tell us f'ers to suck it.  Jackass.
 

[WildCatzPhreak]

They're not going to be able to zone us.  They're not fast enough to get back and set in the zone before we'll score.

We sucked when we played man2man under wooly as well.  what's your point?  Would you rather play zone against KSU next year or try to go man2man?
